PPL seeks a $168 million rate hike — quite an increase. Yet, it is a perfect reason and time to change electric suppliers to one that uses only Pennsylvania-generated renewable energy. Using PAPowerSwitch this way gives me an opportunity to do a small deed to assist in reducing harmful carcinogens in the air.

The more citizens who switch, the less carbon will be emitted into Pennsylvania's air. The less carbon dumped into the atmosphere, the healthier we will be. The more people who switch to renewable energy, the cheaper the cost will be. The more renewable energy used, the less natural gas, coal and oil are needed. It seems like a no-brainer to me. It is all about doing the right thing for the greater good.
